Um, from what I've been told, it is a monster/ witch from Russian folklore that spirits children away. I not exactly sure, but I would love to read about them. It also means 'witch', and 'hag'. By the way, love the movie and the book, but the movie is nothing like the book. Might as well call Coraline Annie and have her stay to have buttons sewn into her eyes. Fudge you, Henry Selick!!
Beldam, an archaic word meaning "hag" or "witch", may also refer to an old woman, particularly an ugly one .
Coral Browne was born on July 23, 1913, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

no.... Henry Selick and Tim Burton....... were -Sammy (but the creator of Coraline was the same as The Nightmare Before Christmas)

It seems the coraline beldam has metal claws to defend herself.

Yes, the Other Mother in Coraline is revealed to be a malevolent entity known as the Beldam or the Other Mother. She takes on a more monstrous spider-like form as the story progresses, symbolizing her true nature.
It's actually called the beldam (bell-dum) And it's the "other mother" Beldam actually means an archaic word meaning "hag" or "witch", may also refer to an old woman, particularly an ugly one.
Miss Spink and Miss Forcible give Coraline the special stone as a token of protection against the Beldam, who is trying to lure Coraline into staying in the Other World. The stone acts as a charm to keep Coraline safe on her journey to confront the Beldam.
Alright. When Coraline returns through the little door the 2nd time, the Beldam says "how nice of you to send this nice cheddar, coraline." so then, she says "would you go fetch your father, i bet he's hungry as a PUMPKIN by now" so then, while Coraline and the Beldam is talking, right after coraline figured out her parents are stolen, the other father is a PUMPKIN. and also wen she tries to collect the 1st ghost eye. and, if you have a recording of the whole movie, or if you have the movie, in the other world, when Coraline walks through the theatre, when spink and forcible unzip their disguises, and wen they grab her, pause it. u can see the 2nd ghost eye. the third ghost eye is in mr. b's circus. Now, if your talking about what the NAME of Coraline means, im sorry for being so stupid. Well I looked it up and it says... "Coral (Latin)." i hope that helped if u saw the movie too

In my opinion, Coraline is the best movie ever.

It's based on the Book Coraline by Neil Gaiman
In the book and movie "Coraline," Coraline Jones is described as being around 11 years old.
The Other Mother is like Coralines real mother exept better. Or at least that's what Coraline thinks. The Other Mother soon turns evil and wicked and traps Coraline behind a mirror so that Coraline dies and the Other Mother feeds on her. But at the end Coraline beats the Other Mother at her own game!Untill the Beldams (other mother) hand breaks off and Coraline traps it in a well! Cool Story huh? In addition, she probably is a mischevious,bad supernatural being summounded by the devil.
